How to Connect Your Calendar to Notion

Inside your GARDEN+ workspace, you’ll find pre-built calendars for campaigns, content planning, and brand milestones. By default, these live only inside Notion. If you’d like to see them side by side with your Google Calendar, you can connect the two.

Here’s how to set it up.


Step 1: Open Your GARDEN+ Calendar in Notion

  1. Go to your GARDEN+ workspace.

  2. Open the Content Calendar (or another calendar view).

  3. Make sure your tasks and deadlines are showing correctly.


Step 2: Decide How You Want to Sync

There are two main options:

  • One-way embed → Display your Google Calendar inside Notion. Useful if you just want to see both in one place.

  • Two-way sync → Keep Google Calendar and Notion in sync. Changes in one update the other. Requires a connector tool (Zapier, Notion’s Google Calendar integration, or similar).


Step 3: Embed Google Calendar in Notion (Simple Option)

  1. Open your Google Calendar in a browser.

  2. Go to Settings → Integrate calendar.

  3. Copy the Public URL of your calendar.

  4. Back in Notion, paste the link into a page and select “Create embed.”

  5. Your Google Calendar will now display inside Notion alongside your GARDEN+ tools.

Note: This is view-only. You can’t edit events directly in Notion with this method.


Step 4: Sync Google Calendar and Notion (Advanced Option)

For full two-way sync (add/edit in either place):

  1. In Notion, go to Settings & Members → Integrations.

  2. Find and enable the Google Calendar integration (if available).

    • If not, use a connector like Zapier, Automate.io, or Notion’s API.

  3. Choose which Notion database to sync (for example, the GARDEN+ Content Calendar).

  4. Map the fields:

    • Notion “Date” → Google Calendar event date.

    • Notion “Title” → Google Calendar event name.

  5. Confirm and run the sync.

Now, updates in Notion automatically appear in Google Calendar — and vice versa.


Step 5: Test Your Setup

  • Add a new post or campaign in the GARDEN+ Content Calendar.

  • Check that it shows up in Google Calendar.

  • Try editing the time in Google Calendar — does it update in Notion?

If yes, you’re good to go.


Tips for Teams Using GARDEN+

  • Use the shared Google Calendar for external visibility (meetings, campaigns).

  • Keep internal planning (notes, responsibilities, comments) inside Notion.

  • Make sure everyone knows where to look for the “master plan” — Notion stays the source of truth.


Final Thoughts

Connecting Notion with Google Calendar gives you the best of both worlds: the structure of GARDEN+ and the convenience of your personal schedule.

This way, your branding tasks don’t just stay inside a workspace — they live in your daily rhythm, keeping projects on track and your team aligned.
